Working with Windows
Scrolling Window Contents
When you have a long file or a file folder containing
many items, often only a part is displayed in the
window. To see more of the file or items, you scroll.
Scrolling means that you are rolling the window
contents forward or backward or side to side within the
window to see what is not shown in the original window
display, ,as illustrated below:

You can scroll up and down a few lines at a time, to
the previous page, next page, beginning of file, and
end of file. A page is the number of lines that fit in
the window. You can also scroll to the left side or
right side of certain wide displays or files.
To scroll with the mouse, use the scroll icons located
on the right and bottom borders of the window. The
arrows indicate which part of the window's contents
comes into view when the icon is selected. When all of
the contents fit in the available window space so that
scrolling is not necessary, the scroll icons may not
appear.
You can also scroll with the arrow keys located in the
lower-right corner of your keyboard. The arrows on
these keys also indicate which part of the document
comes into view. The arrow keys move the cursor or
highlight a line or a character at a time until the
cursor reaches the top, bottom, left, or right window
border. Then the contents that were previously
obscured can be scrolled into view, a line or a
character at a time.
